A look on the artistes that leave Jamaica to live abroad--Challengescan thehy make it?Can Jamaican musicians make it to the big times when they leave the shores of Jamaica? A look on the pros and cons of leaving the shores of Jamaica to pursue a career in music overseas. Many Jamaicans migrate to other countries with the hope of making a career in music but some never attain the height that was promised. Is there an advantage living as an artiste in Jamaica versus those who migrate? Today the Celebrity Link looks on Jamaican artistes outside of Jamaica, paying tribute to those who left but upheld the flag of the industry.Reggae nusic industryBlueuebeat: Jamaican artistes based in Britain, Canada UK USA and other places.

The incidence of Jamaican recordings reaching the United Kingdom charts and impacting British culture has become commonplace.Millie Small’s 1964 remake of Barbie Gaye’s 1957 R&B hit, My Boy Lollipop set the trend when it climbed to No. 2 on the British charts.It effectively opened the floodgates for a deluge of Jamaican recordings to flow incessantly onto the British charts.Earlier, others like Laurel Aitken and Dandy Livingstone created an initial impact, with Aitken’s Boogie in My Bones and Little Sheila in 1957 becoming the first Jamaican-made recordings to be distributed in England.

A couple years after Millie Small’s hit, ska legend Prince Buster burst onto the UK music scene with the ultimate rude-boy song, Al capone Guns Don’t Argue, which established his career in Britain.

The year 1967 saw the biggest Jamaica-UK hit of that period, when Desmond Dekker’s 007 (Shanty Town) found its way to the No. 14 slot on the charts.

Dekker, who had ushered in a more conscious form of Jamaican rocksteady, revealed to the outside world, through the recording, the condition of ghetto dwellers and gun-toting hoodlums in a society going through a transition:

Two years later, Dekker and the Aces would return to register Jamaica’s greatest impact on the UK charts and the first Jamaican record to hit the No. 1 spot there — Israelites.

Although few could understand its lyrics, it became a timeless masterpiece, merely on the strength of its intense reggae beat, reaching the top in April 1969.http://www.herald.co.zw/jamaican-music-rules-uk/ 661-467-2407 www.crsradio.com

Historian and UWI professor Matthew J. Smith joins host Alice Backer tonight at 9PM to discuss his research about Haiti-Jamaica migratory relations before 1915. Jamaica was the place where Haitian presidents went into exile then and in 1900 Jamaicans were the biggest group of English speakers in Haiti.

He will tell us about his latest book on the topic: Liberty, Fraternity, Exile: Haiti and Jamaica after emancipation.

We'll also discuss broader patterns of inter-Caribbean migration during that time.

The Yardie Skeptics return this Sunday, September 21st at 12:30pm (11:30am Jamaican time) for our penultimate episode in season 2 as we explore the vast range of issues experienced by Diasporic Jamaicans. Why is there still ongoing tension between persons who live inside Jamaica who see themselves as "authentically" Jamaican, and Jamaicans living in the Diaspora who are constantly accused of being "deserters?" Diaspora members keep the economy afloat with a steady flow of foreign currency via remittances, but are scoffed at if the possibility of a Diasporic vote is ever mentioned. Local Jamaicans are the ones who have to deal with the every day realities and hardships of life at home and are tired of being chided as backward and archaic by Diasporic Jamaicans.

Can there be any reconciliation? Is it possible to harness the collective energy of each and every person who identifies themself as Jamaican regardless of geographical location?

Tune in as the Yardie Skeptics go on a guided tour of Diaspora issues with our special guest Rain Jarrett, adjunct professor of sociology at Florida International University. Wherever you are, if you call yourself a "Yardie" we want to hear from you!

On that beautiful breezy island, Jamaica, Madam Chair Cynthia Pearson alongside Rock Stone (her husband - a contextual theologian), who are both members of the POTCar Circle, meet us on The Journey. They introduce us to The POTCar Circle then, by way of alternately delightful and militant poetry, gude us through life and death, along the way exposing us to love, the joys and travails of growing and their concerns for the future. It is a rewardingly rich and humorous time. Enjoy.
